Click on a question below to view the answer.
How do I know what has been changed from day to day?
Go to the Latest Additions page and you will see a list of recently-added items.
How can I provide feedback on the site?
We fully encourage subscribers to provide feedback in relation to the design, contents and functionality of the software and will incorporate suggestions wherever appropriate. Please inform 3d via the Contact Us page or the JMLSG Help Desk via email to david.swanney@jmlsg.org.uk. We can easily accommodate requests for additions to the Index. Other changes may take that little bit longer!
What is the best way to find a particular subject?
The first place to go is the Index where we have linked keywords/phrases to specific topics.
If that doesn't get you to what you need, please use the Search function at the top right of the screen.
Alternatively, please use the Contents list on the left and 'drill' down the various menus
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any difficulty getting to the right place.
Can I print out particular topics?
Click the printer icon at the top right of the screen to print the page.
To print a smaller part of the page, click the printer icon at the top right of the screen and then ensure your printer option is set to 'print selection'.
We intend to develop the printing options further, including the option to print to PDF format.
Does each screen show the date the rule/regulation was implemented?
Where amendments have been made, commencement dates have been included.
The information on the 3d site is based on the position prevailing in the summer of 1997, subject to all subsequent amendments and therefore those items amended prior to 1997 do not always have the relevant history attached.
What history of changes is retained?
3d does not remove historical data. Subsequent changes show both the amended text and the pre-amended text.
How many cross references are on the site?
More than 400,000, along with 1,500 keywords used for indexing the 50,000 pages.
How do I put a Shortcut to the site on my Desktop?
Minimise all current open Windows by pressing the Windows key and M together.
Using your mouse, right click on the Desktop.
Go to New, then to Shortcut
In the Command Line, enter: http://www.ukregulation.co.uk/jmlsg
Then click on Next
Type in the name of the Shortcut, eg 3d or JMLSG.
Then click on Finish.
How often is the site updated?
3d aim to add new items within 10 working days of their release, but they will often appear much earlier.
Can I bookmark specific pages on the site?
Yes, first go to the page you want to Bookmark
Then click on the Book at the top right of the screen.
Alternatively, go to Favourites in your Browser and click on Add to Favourites, then choose the place the bookmark is to be stored.
Jumps (or hyperlinks) are links from one page to another and are identified by being in blue. When you place the mouse over a jump, the pointer changes to a hand shape.
If you get any type of error message please let 3d know immediately by emailing us on 3d@ukregulation.co.uk
A "cookie" is a small piece of information sent by a web server to store on a web browser so it can later be read back from that browser. This is useful for having the browser remember some specific information. What are they used for? An example is when a browser stores your passwords and user ID's.
Statement re Data Protection Act 1998
3d has notified the Information Commissioner (an independent official appointed by the Crown to oversee the Data Protection Act 1998, the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the Environmental Information Regulations 2004) that the company processes personal information.
The financial services industry requires many staff to maintain 'threshold competence' and we feel that we can assist the HR and training departments by tracking individuals' usage of our system.
IP authentication is primarily about convenience, rather than extra security. The level of security is comparable with that for password-based authentication. However, it does mean that anyone who has access to a computer within the specified range can access 3d without identification.
Accordingly, we do not intend making IP Authentication available on this product.
Unless cookies have been disabled on your pc, the only inconvenience will be having to register (on www.ukregulation.co.uk/jmlsg/register) and login the first time. During this initial logon, a cookie is issued to the browser and stored on the pc. Subsequent logons will be authenticated automatically by the cookie; users shouldn't need to login as they enter the 3d website. If this remains an issue, then please don't hesitate to inform us via the Contact Us page.
